Ok, so as a new mom I have realized that there are so many things that I can "blame" because of having a baby. Not that I actually cast blame on Harper... cause, I love that little toot to pieces, but now I have her as an excuse.
For example(s):
Running late... my excuse... Im a new mom... always frazzled... but come on, how many clocks do I have in my house... like, a dozen.
Being out of shape... my excuse... I have a 3 month old... and, well, I havent ran since like, last Oct! but... I we have bought a running stroller... so, NO excuse! ha!
Memory loss... my excuse... well, Ive heard you start getting forgetful during pregnancy and it continues ... and continues..... and continues.... um, what was I talking about???? ... just kidding.. Here is a side story of a near disasterous moment that happened today...
Started to run some water to wash some dishes. My tap takes awhile to get hot so I decided to go to the bathroom real quick (which is another excuse... now, I cant even hold it to have to go the bathroom hardly at all now since Ive had Harper... grrrreaat!) Well, got side tracked afterwards and decided I needed to brush my teeth... and all the while the water was running... and I had absentmindedly already plugged the sink... Yes, water and suds were overflowing !!!! Thank goodness the middle of my double sink is alittle lower so the water had started to overflow into the other side.
Looking like a hood-rat out in public most of the time.... my excuse, little sleep, little time, little (size-wise) wardrobe.... BUT... yes, I DO have make-up, I AM getting more sleep than I had been 2 months ago, not ALL my clothes are a size too small, .... soooo, really, where are the real excuses?!?
So, really, I can't blame it all on the baby...
but, man, it sure is easy! ;)

I love reading this... it's hard to believe this is going to be me in a few months! The sad thing is I've already started forgetting things. That can't be a good sign.
So glad you're walking this road ahead of me. I love your wisdom and knowledge you pass on along the way. Keep it coming!
Girl I'm still using Beck as an excuse for all those things and I don't think I still qualify for "new" mom status. I'm terrified with will happen to me when #2 gets here. I quarantee you'll see me show up 45 min late with no makeup mismatched shoes too tight pants and no diapers in the diaper bag at least once!
